  • If you return to your old sins after you have been enlightened by God, it is a very serious matter

    If you return to your old sins after you have been enlightened by God, it is a very serious matter
    Dec 21 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on February 13, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... Jesus died for our sins. But after we are enlightened by the Spirit of God to a sin, if we turn away from the truth from God and return to that sin, there is no more sacrifice for that sin. Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, So if you were a drunkard and then born again and have been freed from being a drunkard and you are enlightened by God to drunkenness being a sin, if you fall away from the truth concerning this sin and return to being a drunkard, there is no more sacrifice for sins. Jesus was crucified once for our sins. To return to those sins after we have been enlightened by God to that sin would be to crucify Jesus afresh. Hebrews 6:4-8 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put HIM to an open shame. 7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. The apostle Peter says it would have been better if a person had never been enlightened to the truth of God rather than to turn away from that truth and return to old sins. II Peter 2:20-21 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. Jesus says: Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. After we are born again, to return to our old sins has dire consequences. ***** Hebrews 10 warns us to exhort one another and even more as we see the day of the Lord approaching to help that brother in Christ to abstain from his past sins and keep from being swept away from the church in the last days. Hebrews 10 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for HE is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know HIM that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto ME, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge HIS people. 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. *** II Peter 2 1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; 7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from...

    A man in our church filed divorce papers against his wife. I contacted him.
    Dec 20 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on January 26, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... There is one scriptural time when a man can divorce his wife and that is if the wife is committing fornication. (adultery) Jesus said: Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. I asked Joseph, "Is your wife committing fornication?" Joseph replied, "No." I told him fornication is the only scriptural reason for a man to divorce his wife. If he divorces a "faithful wife" and that "faithful wife" remarries after he divorces her, he will be the cause of her adultery according to what Jesus says in Matthew 5:32. But if the wife is not pleased to live with him, let her depart. I Corinthians 7:12 If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. I Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. Joseph withdrew the divorce proceedings from the government courts. Consider Mark 10 also: Jesus says: 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house HIS disciples asked HIM again of the same matter. 11 And HE saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. ***** Concerning a woman who wants to divorce her husband: I Corinthians 7:10-11 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. I Corinthians 7:39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. Romans 1:1-3 1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 💥💥💥💥💥

  • Sexual intercourse causes two to become one flesh. Flee fornication.

    Sexual intercourse causes two to become one flesh. Flee fornication.
    Dec 19 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on January 18, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... In today's society, even in some churches, fornication is rampant. The one thing that might hold some people back is a scripture where Paul explains that at the time of sexual intercourse, two become one flesh. I Corinthians 6:15-16 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh. (Paul explains that even if you have sex with a prostitute, you become one flesh with that prostitute.) Then Paul tells us sexual sins are different from all other sins for sexual sins are sins against your own body. I Corinthians 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog

  • Antichrist: The apostle John told the church of his day about antichrist. And we learn from John.

    Antichrist: The apostle John told the church of his day about antichrist. And we learn from John.
    Dec 18 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on January 27, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... As a new Christian in 1975, I attended a church named Word of Faith. Some of the women were speaking of the antichrist. This is the first time I had ever heard of antichrist. One woman said she thought antichrist was Henry Kissinger. In the book, War & Peace, Tolstoy said the Russian Catholic Church people thought the antichrist was Napoleon, who was attacking Russia in the early 1800's. I recall my aunt, who was Christ of Christ, saying the Catholic church and their pope was antichrist. Some in WWII thought antichrist to be Adolph Hitler. It is amazing, but the apostle John tells us about antichrist in I John 2. (I've never heard these scriptures taught at any church, but these scriptures are in our New Testament Bibles, and tell the answers to these questions.) * Is antichrist one man? * Does antichrist come through the governments of men? The apostle John says: I John 2:18-19 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us (in our church group): but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. So John tells us there are many antichrists. And antichrist had been in their church group, in John's time on this earth, which showed it to be "the last time". (The end time began with the resurrection of Jesus into heaven.) Paul tells us the following: Many of the elders in the church at Ephesus were just waiting for him, Paul, to depart so they could rise up and speak "perverse things" to the church at Ephesus. (antichrist: opposite to Christ, The Word) Acts 20:29-30 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. And Paul explained: II Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (In 1982, God said to me: "The falling away spoken of by Paul in II Thess. 2, is not men leaving the church groups. The falling away are church groups leaving the scriptures." And when this happens, antichrist comes into the church groups and cast aside certain scripture and sets up doctrines in the church which are opposite to scripture.) 2 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Antichrist comes through the churches. Antichrist is a "spirit" in many men. as the devil is a spirit that operates through many men. I discuss these things on this Podcast. ***** The main scriptures to study concerning antichrist are the following: I John 2:18-19 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us (in our church group): but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. *** II Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. *** The falling away from scripture is the restraint keeping antichrist out of the church, and when this falling away from scripture takes place, antichrist moves into "that" church group. We are seeing this in churches today as they turn from scriptures and set up other doctrines in their churches. This means Jesus can come at any time now, for this was ordained to happen before Jesus could return. May God give understanding to all who belong to Him 💥💥💥💥💥

  • Concerning divorce & remarriage

    Concerning divorce & remarriage
    Dec 17 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on February 16, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... When a woman called me wanting to talk about her mother's second marriage, God said to me: "Just focus on what the scriptures say." God showed me it is not needful to talk about the circumstances of the divorce and remarriage. When a man in our church group filed for divorce in the USA courts, I asked him if his wife was committing fornication, and he said she was not committing fornication. The only scriptural reason for a man to divorce his wife is because she is committing fornication. (Matthew 5:32) After reviewing this scripture, he withdrew the divorce papers from the court system. Matthew 5:32 Jesus says: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. - If a faithful wife remarries after divorce she commits adultery. - If a man divorces a faithful wife, he will be the cause of her adultery if she remarries. - The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. It is important to compare scripture with scripture. I Corinthians 7:10-11 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. ***** Mark 10 2 And the Pharisees came to Him, and asked Him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting Him. 3 And HE answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house His disciples asked Him again of the same matter. 11 And HE saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. *** Psalm 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. *** At the time of sexual intercourse two become one flesh, even if a man has sex with a prostitute. I Corinthians 6 15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith HE, shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. *** Romans 7:1-3 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. *** I Corinthians 7 12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. 15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. 16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? 17 But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. *** Matthew 5 27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her...

  • The new heaven and new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness

    The new heaven and new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness
    Dec 16 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on February 7, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... If we are looking for righteousness, fairness, justice on this present earth, we will likely be gravely disappointed. It is in the new heavens and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness, says the apostle Peter. 2 Peter 3:10-14 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless. No matter what we do, we will not be able to make this present earth righteous. The sin nature of man until he is born again requires that man be born again by God. Many attend churches but few are actually born again by God. The natural man cannot see the things of the Spirit of God, says Paul. I Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. If we look for justice and righteousness on this present earth we will likely end up being greatly disappointed. For men have compromised away their integrity and have become like men in the days of Noah. Genesis 6:5-8 5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that HE had made man on the earth, and it grieved HIM at HIS heart. 7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. The apostle Paul tells us the following: 2 Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. In the end, before Jesus returns, God will bring HIS wrath, the great tribulation, upon ungodly men of this world. (Revelation 8, 9, 16) Then God shakes the powers of heaven. (Matthew 24:29) And then comes Jesus through the clouds and sends HIS angels to gather his elect and take them off this present earth and take them to the new Jerusalem wherein dwells righteousness. (Matthew 24:30-32 and Revelation 21:1-5) It is on the new earth, the new Jerusalem, wherein dwelleth righteousness that we so much want as the elect of God. And this is where Jesus takes us in our new spiritual bodies. (I Corinthians 15:49-51) ***** I Thessalonians 4 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with HIM. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (We meet in the air for this present heaven and earth will be destroyed by God by fire.) *** We are changed, given new spiritual bodies: I Corinthians 15 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. (As we are born in the physical image of our parents or relatives, we will be born in the image of God, a spirit, when we are taken into heaven.) 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

  • Part 3: Examples: Working the works of God because we believe the Word

    Part 3: Examples: Working the works of God because we believe the Word
    Dec 15 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on January 24, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... John 6:28-29 Then said they unto HIM, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on HIM whom HE hath sent. Examples: From the time I was born again in 1975, God spoke to me many times by HIS Holy Spirit who brought information to my mind concerning the situations of this present life. By these, I knew the will of God for me in the matter at hand. A few of these examples are as follows: * December 6, 2018 In the night, I fell in the hallway about 6 feet from my bedroom. I lived alone at that time. I was badly injured as I fell on the hall floor. I felt my left hip was broken and my left hand was bent completely backward from my wrist. I managed to roll my body onto my right hip and I started trying to crawl to the bedroom where there was a phone on the night stand. My goal was to pull on phone cord so the receiver of the phone would fall onto the floor where I could reach it and call for help. But as I tried to inch my way down the tile hallway, the pain was so severe I felt I would lose consciousness. I couldn't do this. I couldn't get to the bedroom. But if I didn't, I felt I would die on the floor in that hallway, for no one was due at my house for another 8 days. Then I heard this word from God by the Holy Spirit: "You can do this." Because I believed "that" word, I began to move toward bedroom inch by inch. It took me 4 1/2 hours to reach the carpet area of the bedroom, which was about 6 feet from the place I had fallen in the hallway. It was even more difficult to crawl when I got to the carpet. But because of that word from God telling me, "You can do this," I made myself to keep crawling. When I reached the phone and pulled on the cord, the receiver squirted off and I never saw the phone receiver again. But under the table I saw a Kindle tablet which had been recharging. If I could reach that tablet maybe I could get an email out to our church group and get them to send ambulance to my house! I tried several times to send email. I was almost unconscious and could barely see the screen of the Kindle table, and I only had one hand to work with, for the other wrist was broken and the hand was doubled backward and could not be used. About 30 minutes later I heard someone at my front door. I knew one of the church members had gotten my email where I said, "fallen ... help ... send ambulance". (Pam Padgett who lived in Colorado got the email and called the Lubbock, Texas, police department and told them what had happened and asked police to send ambulance to my house in Texas.) As they had me on hospital gurney and were rolling me past my front door to take me to hospital, I heard these words from the Holy Spirit of God. "You'll never see this house again." I didn't care. I knew God had a plan for me! And what a plan it turned out to be! *** * February 24, 2019 I was in rehabilitation hospitals for 2 1/2 months after surgery. During that time God worked it out for me to move into home of Pam Padgett in Colorado. Pam came several times from Colorado to Texas (450 miles one way). On one of the trips, Pam managed to get my cat into a cat carrier (3 hours to do this), and she took the cat to Colorado as she drove my 25 year old car, in January 2019. I was released from rehabilitation hospital on February 24, 2019. (I was 81 years old at that time and I couldn't walk except by a walker and then only a few feet.) Pam flew from Denver to Texas to help me with the plane trip. I took pain and nausea medicine and we flew to Denver, Colorado, and drove another 60 miles to Colorado Springs to Pam's house. When we got to Pam's house, I had a great deal of difficulty getting into the house because of a step on the porch. I could walk and was using walker. It looked like I wasn't going to be able to get up that step. But I kept trying and finally did make it into Pam's house. The next thing we did was put a ramp from garage to laundry room of Pam's house. I still use that ramp to get in and out of the house. *** * March, 2020 I had put the house in Texas on the real estate market in December, 2018. It did not sell for the next 1 1/2 years. I kept praying! Coronavirus became known to all in USA on March 11, 2020, when businesses began closing, and all sporting events were cancelled in USA. (Never before had we seen anything like this!) People were terrified! and I was saying to God, "What about that house in Texas? Is there anything You want me to do?" Instantly I heard following from the Holy Spirit of God: "Reduce the price of the house and put it on a special sale price for the next week." I told my realtor in Texas to do this. The house sold ...

  • Part 2: Examples: Working the works of God because we believe

    Part 2: Examples: Working the works of God because we believe
    Dec 14 2025
    (This podcast was previously published on January 23, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... John 6:28-29 Then said they unto HIM, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on HIM whom HE hath sent. On Part One, of this subject of "Doing the Work of God by believing that word given us by God," I had no idea that there would be a Part 2. The instructions in this second Podcast cover a very wide range of subjects which deal with praying over each of our problems and then recognizing the Word given us when God speaks after we pray. I also speak of how antichrist gets into the churches and the way the restraint is removed which allows antichrist to come into the church group. I found this to be an exciting Podcast to record. I simply spoke that which the Spirit brought to my mind. I know it will be very helpful to those who are born again, the elect of God. I pray for God to give you understanding as you listen to this Podcast. ***** Paul says antichrist must come into the churches before Jesus can return for the church. II Thessalonians 2:3-4 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. * Before the second coming of Jesus, a "falling away" must occur. In 1982, God said to me: "The falling away are not individuals leaving the church group ... The falling away are church groups leaving the scriptures." The scriptures are the restraints which hold antichrist back, keeping antichrist out of the church group. As soon as a scripture is removed (no longer taught or explained away), lawlessness comes into that church group. We recognize antichrist when we see a church which goes against scripture: such as against the following scripture: Matthew 5:32 Jesus says But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. - The faithful wife, who has been divorced by her husband, will commit adultery if she remarries. - The husband who divorced the faithful wife will be the cause of her adultery if she remarries. - The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. Churches fall away from these instructions of Jesus, for it would be unpopular to teach these scriptural truths. So the churches either explain away these instruction or keep silent and never mention such scriptures which might offend some people. Therefore these churches become antichrist. (against those scriptures which have been omitted or explained away and opposite to Christ, The Word.) Thus antichrist sits in "the temple of God" (the church), showing himself to be God as he rules over the scriptures, over the Word of God, which is Jesus. Those people who love their church groups more than they love the scriptures and remain in antichrist churches, bring a dreadful fate upon themselves, Paul tells us as follows. II Thessalonians 2:10-12 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: *** The church people who have taken antichrist into their spirit cannot repent and will not repent for it is God who has sent them a strong delusion. Revelation 9 20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues (of the great tribulation) yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. Revelation 16 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. 💥💥💥💥💥 * For writings on additional subjects, click here: Jesus Ministries Exhortations Blog
